AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would find Hector Roos in contempt of Congress for not complying with two subpoenas issued to him on August 12, 2025. One subpoena required him to produce documents, and the other required him to testify before an Investigative Subcommittee of the Committee on Ethics. The resolution directs the Speaker of the House to certify the Ethics Committee's report on his refusal to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia so he can be proceeded against under federal law. It also directs the Speaker to take other appropriate action to enforce the subpoenas.
